Weekly Roundup #497

https://retrorgb.com/week497.html

You know you’re living in the future when your retro gaming fix comes with 4K textures, FPGA deep dives, and a vinyl soundtrack for Chrono Trigger—because why just play the game when you can own it?

Bob from RetroRGB’s latest roundup is a love letter to the old-school with a modern twist. He’s testing a cheap magnifying headset that makes SNES pixels look like Renaissance paintings, and yes—he’s figured out how to bypass the Genesis’ subcarrier for cleaner video (because analog purists never sleep). There’s also a Quest 64 recompilation for your PC, HD Mario Kart textures that’ll make your eyes weep with joy, and a Virtual Boy in slow-mo (yes, really—you’ve never seen those 3D visuals until now).

But wait—there’s drama. Bob warns about “fake CRTs” and dodgy SNES units floating on eBay, because nobody wants to drop $200 on a brick that looks like a console. Meanwhile, OpenMenu is breathing new life into the GD-ROM system, and Lu’s MiSTer FPGA updates are dropping like it’s 1995 again—Apple IIGS? CD-I FMV? Sign us up.

And if you’re feeling generous? Support Bob. He’s not just making videos—he’s preserving gaming history, one pixel at a time.

P.S. The Chrono Trigger vinyl? Pre-order now. You’ll thank us when it arrives with a cassette of “One-Winged Angel” stuck to the inside.
